Daston Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I thought that was also heat shielding stuff to stop the bonet getting uber hot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Took mine out yesterday, no real increase in engine noise, but i can now hear my alarm and the dump valve, plus a bit of turbo stall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Here we go again..... no it doesn't get too hot, your paintwork will be fine... Yes it is a fire blanket to smother engine fires.... yes you can hear the engine and turbos better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Remove it and you're removing the only built in fire extinguisher your car has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Most car fires are caused by electrical problems, and not always under the bonnet, so i carry an extinguisher, anyway the only thing that the lining is going to save is the paint on the bonnet;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprash Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I havent any linning, the only difference I notice now is that rain starts to steam on my bonnet obviously due to some extra heat radiating through...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I took mine off last year and have had no problems at all. my paint hasnt faded the only difference is that my blow off valve sounds like a gun going off it so loud. I picked my son up from nursery and when I backed off the throttle a woman ducked and covered her head think she thought she was getting shot at. Couldnt stop laughing all the was home.
